Referring now to FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of an artificial intelligence platform system 100 is illustrated. System 100 includes at least a server 104. At least a server 104 may include any computing device as described below in reference to FIG. 10, including without limitation a microcontroller, microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP) and/or system on a chip (SoC) as described below in reference to FIG. 10. At least a server 104 may be housed with, may be incorporated in, or may incorporate one or more sensors of at least a sensor. Computing device may include, be included in, and/or communicate with a mobile device such as a mobile telephone or smartphone. At least a server 104 may include a single computing device operating independently, or may include two or more computing device operating in concert, in parallel, sequentially or the like; two or more computing devices may be included together in a single computing device or in two or more computing devices. At least a server 104 may communicate with one or more additional devices as described below in further detail via a network interface device. Network interface device may be utilized for connecting a at least a server 104 to one or more of a variety of networks, and one or more devices. Examples of a network interface device include, but are not limited to, a network interface card (e.g., a mobile network interface card, a LAN card), a modem, and any combination thereof. Examples of a network include, but are not limited to, a wide area network (e.g., the Internet, an enterprise network), a local area network (e.g., a network associated with an office, a building, a campus or other relatively small geographic space), a telephone network, a data network associated with a telephone/voice provider (e.g., a mobile communications provider data and/or voice network), a direct connection between two computing devices, and any combinations thereof. A network may employ a wired and/or a wireless mode of communication. In general, any network topology may be used. Information (e.g., data, software etc.) may be communicated to and/or from a computer and/or a computing device. At least a server 104 may include but is not limited to, for example, a at least a server 104 or cluster of computing devices in a first location and a second computing device or cluster of computing devices in a second location. At least a server 104 may include one or more computing devices dedicated to data storage, security, distribution of traffic for load balancing, and the like. At least a server 104 may distribute one or more computing tasks as described below across a plurality of computing devices of computing device, which may operate in parallel, in series, redundantly, or in any other manner used for distribution of tasks or memory between computing devices. At least a server 104 may be implemented using a “shared nothing” architecture in which data is cached at the worker, in an embodiment, this may enable scalability of system 100 and/or computing device.
Still referring to FIG. 1, at least a server 104 and/or one or more modules operating thereon may be designed and/or configured to perform any method, method step, or sequence of method steps in any embodiment described in this disclosure, in any order and with any degree of repetition. For instance, at least a server 104 may be configured to perform a single step or sequence repeatedly until a desired or commanded outcome is achieved; repetition of a step or a sequence of steps may be performed iteratively and/or recursively using outputs of previous repetitions as inputs to subsequent repetitions, aggregating inputs and/or outputs of repetitions to produce an aggregate result, reduction or decrement of one or more variables such as global variables, and/or division of a larger processing task into a set of iteratively addressed smaller processing tasks. At least a server 104 may perform any step or sequence of steps as described in this disclosure in parallel, such as simultaneously and/or substantially simultaneously performing a step two or more times using two or more parallel threads, processor cores, or the like; division of tasks between parallel threads and/or processes may be performed according to any protocol suitable for division of tasks between iterations. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various ways in which steps, sequences of steps, processing tasks, and/or data may be subdivided, shared, or otherwise dealt with using iteration, recursion, and/or parallel processing.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, any module or modules introduced in this disclosure may be instantiated using any combination of software and/or hardware commands or circuitry as described in this disclosure, including without limitation logic circuits, software programs using functions, methods, and/or object-oriented programming, or the like. Although modules are introduced conceptually in the ensuing disclosure as separate components for the sake of clarity, persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware that a module may be created, as contemplated in the scope of this disclosure, by any combination of circuitry and/or software program commands stored in any form; for instance, and without limitation, a module may not be identified within system 100 and/or at least a server 104 as a distinct entity or component, but may exist only as the combination of elements and/or commands performing the functions attributed herein to the module, and two or more modules may be partially or wholly combined together, may share functions, data, objects, and/or circuits.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, at least a server 104 may be designed and configured to receive training data. Training data, as used herein, is data containing correlation that a machine-learning process may use to model relationships between two or more categories of data elements. For instance, and without limitation, training data may include a plurality of data entries, each entry representing a set of data elements that were recorded, received, and/or generated together; data elements may be correlated by shared existence in a given data entry, by proximity in a given data entry, or the like. Multiple data entries in training data may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below. Training data may be formatted and/or organized by categories of data elements, for instance by associating data elements with one or more descriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. As a non-limiting example, training data may include data entered in standardized forms by persons or processes, such that entry of a given data element in a given field in a form may be mapped to one or more descriptors of categories. Elements in training data may be linked to descriptors of categories by tags, tokens, or other data elements; for instance, and without limitation, training data may be provided in fixed-length formats, formats linking positions of data to categories such as comma-separated value (CSV) formats and/or self-describing formats such as extensible markup language (XML), enabling processes or devices to detect categories of data.
Alternatively or additionally, and still referring to FIG. 1, training data may include one or more elements that are not categorized; that is, training data may not be formatted or contain descriptors for some elements of data. Machine-learning algorithms and/or other processes may sort training data according to one or more categorizations using, for instance, natural language processing algorithms, tokenization, detection of correlated values in raw data and the like; categories may be generated using correlation and/or other processing algorithms. As a non-limiting example, in a corpus of text, phrases making up a number “n” of compound words, such as nouns modified by other nouns, may be identified according to a statistically significant prevalence of n-grams containing such words in a particular order; such an n-gram may be categorized as an element of language such as a “word” to be tracked similarly to single words, generating a new category as a result of statistical analysis. Similarly, in a data entry including some textual data, a person's name and/or a description of a medical condition or therapy may be identified by reference to a list, dictionary, or other compendium of terms, permitting ad-hoc categorization by machine-learning algorithms, and/or automated association of data in the data entry with descriptors or into a given format. The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below.

Fields for entry of constitutional labels and/or categories of constitutional labels may include free-form data entry fields such as text entry fields; as described above, examiners may enter data not presented in pre-populated data fields in the free-form data entry fields. Alternatively or additionally, fields for entry of constitutional labels may enable an expert to select and/or enter information describing or linked to a category of constitutional label that the expert considers significant, where significance may indicate likely impact on longevity, mortality, quality of life, or the like as described in further detail below. First graphical user interface 124 may provide an expert with a field in which to indicate a reference to a document describing significant categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or significant categories of constitutional labels. Any data described above may alternatively or additionally be received from experts similarly organized in paper form, which may be captured and entered into data in a similar way, or in a textual form such as a portable document file (PDF) with examiner entries, or the like
With continued reference to FIG. 1, data information describing significant categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or significant categories of constitutional labels may alternatively or additionally be extracted from one or more documents using a language processing module 128. Language processing module 128 may include any hardware and/or software module. Language processing module 128 may be configured to extract, from the one or more documents, one or more words. One or more words may include, without limitation, strings of one or characters, including without limitation any sequence or sequences of letters, numbers, punctuation, diacritic marks, engineering symbols, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) symbols, chemical symbols and formulas, spaces, whitespace, and other symbols, including any symbols usable as textual data as described above. Textual data may be parsed into tokens, which may include a simple word (sequence of letters separated by whitespace) or more generally a sequence of characters as described previously. The term “token,” as used herein, refers to any smaller, individual groupings of text from a larger source of text; tokens may be broken up by word, pair of words, sentence, or other delimitation. These tokens may in turn be parsed in various ways. Textual data may be parsed into words or sequences of words, which may be considered words as well. Textual data may be parsed into “n-grams”, where all sequences of n consecutive characters are considered. Any or all possible sequences of tokens or words may be stored as “chains”, for example for use as a Markov chain or Hidden Markov Model.
Still referring to FIG. 1, language processing module 128 may compare extracted words to categories of user data recorded at least a server 104, one or more constitutional labels recorded at least a server 104, and/or one or more categories of constitutional labels recorded at least a server 104; such data for comparison may be entered on at least a server 104 as described above using expert data inputs or the like. In an embodiment, one or more categories may be enumerated, to find total count of mentions in such documents. Alternatively or additionally, language processing module 128 may operate to produce a language processing model. Language processing model may include a program automatically generated by at least a server 104 and/or language processing module 128 to produce associations between one or more words extracted from at least a document and detect associations, including without limitation mathematical associations, between such words, and/or associations of extracted words with categories of constitutional data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels. Associations between language elements, where language elements include for purposes herein extracted words, categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels may include, without limitation, mathematical associations, including without limitation statistical correlations between any language element and any other language element and/or language elements. Statistical correlations and/or mathematical associations may include probabilistic formulas or relationships indicating, for instance, a likelihood that a given extracted word indicates a given category of user data, a given relationship of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or a given category of constitutional labels. As a further example, statistical correlations and/or mathematical associations may include probabilistic formulas or relationships indicating a positive and/or negative association between at least an extracted word and/or a given category of user data, a given relationship of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or a given category of constitutional labels; positive or negative indication may include an indication that a given document is or is not indicating a category of user data, relationship of such category to constitutional labels, and/or category of constitutional labels is or is not significant. For instance, and without limitation, a negative indication may be determined from a phrase such as “elevated calcium oxalate levels were not found to be an accurate predictor of gout,” whereas a positive indication may be determined from a phrase such as “elevated uric acid levels were found to be an accurate predictor of gout,” as an illustrative example; whether a phrase, sentence, word, or other textual element in a document or corpus of documents constitutes a positive or negative indicator may be determined, in an embodiment, by mathematical associations between detected words, comparisons to phrases and/or words indicating positive and/or negative indicators that are stored in memory at least a server 104, or the like.
Still referring to FIG. 1, language processing module 128 and/or at least a server 104 may generate the language processing model by any suitable method, including without limitation a natural language processing classification algorithm; language processing model may include a natural language process classification model that enumerates and/or derives statistical relationships between input term and output terms. Algorithm to generate language processing model may include a stochastic gradient descent algorithm, which may include a method that iteratively optimizes an objective function, such as an objective function representing a statistical estimation of relationships between terms, including relationships between input terms and output terms, in the form of a sum of relationships to be estimated. In an alternative or additional approach, sequential tokens may be modeled as chains, serving as the observations in a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). HMMs as used herein are statistical models with inference algorithms that that may be applied to the models. In such models, a hidden state to be estimated may include an association between an extracted word category of user data, a given relationship of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or a given category of constitutional labels. There may be a finite number of category of user data, a given relationship of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or a given category of constitutional labels to which an extracted word may pertain; HMM inference algorithm, such as the forward-backward algorithm or the Viterbi algorithm, may be used to estimate the most likely discrete state given a word or sequence of words. Language processing module 128 may combine two or more approaches. For instance, and without limitation, machine-learning program may use a combination of Naive-Bayes (NB), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), and parameter grid-searching classification techniques; the result may include a classification algorithm that returns ranked associations.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 1, generating language processing model may include generating a vector space, which may be a collection of vectors, defined as a set of mathematical objects that can be added together under an operation of addition following properties of associativity, commutativity, existence of an identity element, and existence of an inverse element for each vector, and can be multiplied by scalar values under an operation of scalar multiplication compatible with field multiplication, and that has an identity element is distributive with respect to vector addition, and is distributive with respect to field addition. Each vector in an n-dimensional vector space may be represented by an n-tuple of numerical values. Each unique extracted word and/or language element as described above may be represented by a vector of the vector space. In an embodiment, each unique extracted and/or other language element may be represented by a dimension of vector space; as a non-limiting example, each element of a vector may include a number representing an enumeration of co-occurrences of the word and/or language element represented by the vector with another word and/or language element. Vectors may be normalized, scaled according to relative frequencies of appearance and/or file sizes. In an embodiment associating language elements to one another as described above may include computing a degree of vector similarity between a vector representing each language element and a vector representing another language element; vector similarity may be measured according to any norm for proximity and/or similarity of two vectors, including without limitation cosine similarity, which measures the similarity of two vectors by evaluating the cosine of the angle between the vectors, which can be computed using a dot product of the two vectors divided by the lengths of the two vectors. Degree of similarity may include any other geometric measure of distance between vectors.
Still referring to FIG. 1, language processing module 128 may use a corpus of documents to generate associations between language elements in a language processing module 128, and at least a server 104 may then use such associations to analyze words extracted from one or more documents and determine that the one or more documents indicate significance of a category of physiological data, a given relationship of such categories to prognostic labels, and/or a given category of prognostic labels. In an embodiment, at least a server 104 may perform this analysis using a selected set of significant documents, such as documents identified by one or more experts as representing good science, good clinical analysis, or the like; experts may identify or enter such documents via graphical user interface as described above, or may communicate identities of significant documents according to any other suitable method of electronic communication, or by providing such identity to other persons who may enter such identifications into at least a server 104. Documents may be entered into at least a server 104 by being uploaded by an expert or other persons using, without limitation, file transfer protocol (FTP) or other suitable methods for transmission and/or upload of documents; alternatively or additionally, where a document is identified by a citation, a uniform resource identifier (URI), uniform resource locator (URL) or other datum permitting unambiguous identification of the document, at least a server 104 may automatically obtain the document using such an identifier, for instance by submitting a request to a database or compendium of documents such as JSTOR as provided by Ithaka Harbors, Inc. of New York.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 1, whether an entry indicating significance of a category of user data, a given relationship of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or a given category of constitutional labels is entered via graphical user interface, alternative submission means, and/or extracted from a document or body of documents as described above, an entry or entries may be aggregated to indicate an overall degree of significance. For instance, each category of user data, relationship of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or category of constitutional labels may be given an overall significance score; overall significance score may, for instance, be incremented each time an expert submission and/or paper indicates significance as described above. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure will be aware of other ways in which scores may be generated using a plurality of entries, including averaging, weighted averaging, normalization, and the like. Significance scores may be ranked; that is, all categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels may be ranked according significance scores, for instance by ranking categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels higher according to higher significance scores and lower according to lower significance scores. Categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels may be eliminated from current use if they fail a threshold comparison, which may include a comparison of significance score to a threshold number, a requirement that significance score belong to a given portion of ranking such as a threshold percentile, quartile, or number of top-ranked scores. Significance scores may be used to filter outputs as described in further detail below; for instance, where a number of outputs are generated and automated selection of a smaller number of outputs is desired, outputs corresponding to higher significance scores may be identified as more probable and/or selected for presentation while other outputs corresponding to lower significance scores may be eliminated. Alternatively or additionally, significance scores may be calculated per sample type; for instance, entries by experts, documents, and/or descriptions of purposes of a given type of user test or sample collection as described above may indicate that for that type of user test or sample collection a first category of user data, relationship of such category to constitutional labels, and/or category of constitutional labels is significant with regard to that test, while a second category of user data, relationship of such category to constitutional labels, and/or category of constitutional labels is not significant; such indications may be used to perform a significance score for each category of user data, relationship of such category to constitutional labels, and/or category of constitutional labels is or is not significant per type of user sample, which then may be subjected to ranking, comparison to thresholds and/or elimination as described above.
Still referring to FIG. 1, at least a server 104 may detect further significant categories of user data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels using machine-learning processes, including without limitation unsupervised machine-learning processes as described in further detail below; such newly identified categories, as well as categories entered by experts in free-form fields as described above, may be added to pre-populated lists of categories, lists used to identify language elements for language learning module, and/or lists used to identify and/or score categories detected in documents, as described above.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 1, in an embodiment, at least a server 104 may be configured, for instance as part of receiving the first training set 108, to associate at least correlated first constitutional label 116 with at least a category from a list of significant categories of constitutional labels. Significant categories of constitutional labels may be acquired, determined, and/or ranked as described above. As a non-limiting example, constitutional labels may be organized according to relevance to and/or association with a list of significant conditions. A list of significant conditions may include, without limitation, conditions having generally acknowledged impact on longevity and/or quality of life; this may be determined, as a non-limiting example, by a product of relative frequency of a condition within the population with years of life and/or years of able-bodied existence lost, on average, as a result of the condition. A list of conditions may be modified for a given person to reflect a family history of the person; for instance, a person with a significant family history of a particular condition or set of conditions, or a genetic profile having a similarly significant association therewith, may have a higher probability of developing such conditions than a typical person from the general population, and as a result at least a server 104 may modify list of significant categories to reflect this difference.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, at least a server 104 may receive at least a user input datum from at least a user client device. User input datum as used herein includes a user request to access user data and/or may include a user question, response, comment, suggestion, and/or discussion regarding any user data.

Furthermore, biometric patterns may also include distinguishing features on a user's face such as the distance between the eyes, position of cheekbones, jaw line, chin, width of nose, and/or shape of mouth. In an embodiment, a biometric pattern may be unique where a probability of a pattern extracted from a different person and/or at least a biological sample being identical to the biometric pattern is negligible; for instance, a fingerprint or iris scan may be sufficiently unique to a particular person as to make it infeasible that a scan of another person's fingerprint or iris would produce an identical result. Uniqueness may include outputs that are generated from distinctive characteristics from an individual user. Noisy signals from multiple biometrics and/or a biometric, combined, for instance, with a unique passphrase (whether spoken, typed etc.) may be used to generate outputs. Outputs may comprise some number of bits of information that are stable across measurements.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, at least a server transmits 140 the at least a stored user datum to a user client device.

Referring now to FIG. 7, an exemplary embodiment of constitutional label learner 700 is illustrated. Constitutional label learner 700 may be contained within label learner 140. In an embodiment, label learner 140 may contain constitutional label learner 700 and advisor label learner as described below in more detail in FIG. 8. Machine-learning algorithms used by constitutional label learner 700 may include supervised machine-learning algorithms, which may, as a non-limiting example be executed using a supervised learning module 704 executing on at least a server 104 and/or on another computing device in communication with at least a server 104, which may include any hardware or software module. Supervised machine learning algorithms, as defined herein, include algorithms that receive a training set relating a number of inputs to a number of outputs, and seek to find one or more mathematical relations relating inputs to outputs, where each of the one or more mathematical relations is optimal according to some criterion specified to the algorithm using some scoring function. For instance, a supervised learning algorithm may use elements of user data as inputs, constitutional labels as outputs, and a scoring function representing a desired form of relationship to be detected between elements of user data and constitutional labels; scoring function may, for instance, seek to maximize the probability that a given element of user data and/or combination of elements of user data is associated with a given constitutional label and/or combination of constitutional labels to minimize the probability that a given element of user data and/or combination of elements of user data is not associated with a given constitutional label and/or combination of constitutional labels. Scoring function may be expressed as a risk function representing an “expected loss” of an algorithm relating inputs to outputs, where loss is computed as an error function representing a degree to which a prediction generated by the relation is incorrect when compared to a given input-output pair provided in first training set 108. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various possible variations of supervised machine learning algorithms that may be used to determine relation between elements of user data and constitutional labels. In an embodiment, one or more supervised machine-learning algorithms may be restricted to a particular domain for instance, a supervised machine-learning process may be performed with respect to a given set of parameters and/or categories of parameters that have been suspected to be related to a given set of constitutional labels, and/or are specified as linked to a medical specialty and/or field of medicine covering a particular set of constitutional labels. As a non-limiting example, a particular set of blood test biomarkers and/or sensor data may be typically used by cardiologists to diagnose or predict various cardiovascular conditions, and a supervised machine-learning process may be performed to relate those blood test biomarkers and/or sensor data to the various cardiovascular conditions; in an embodiment, domain restrictions of supervised machine-learning procedures may improve accuracy of resulting models by ignoring artifacts in training data. Domain restrictions may be suggested by experts and/or deduced from known purposes for particular evaluations and/or known tests used to evaluate prognostic labels. Additional supervised learning processes may be performed without domain restrictions to detect, for instance, previously unknown and/or unsuspected relationships between user data and constitutional labels.
With continued reference to FIG. 7, machine-learning algorithms may include unsupervised processes; unsupervised processes may, as a non-limiting example, be executed by an unsupervised learning module 708 executing on at least a server 104 and/or on another computing device in communication with at least a server 104, which may include any hardware or software module. An unsupervised machine-learning process, as used herein, is a process that derives inferences in datasets without regard to labels; as a result, an unsupervised machine-learning process may be free to discover any structure, relationship, and/or correlation provided in the data. For instance, and without limitation, constitutional label learner 700 and/or at least a server 104 may perform an unsupervised machine learning process on first training set 108, which may cluster data of first training set 108 according to detected relationships between elements of the first training set 108, including without limitation correlations of elements of user data to each other and correlations of constitutional labels to each other; such relations may then be combined with supervised machine learning results to add new criteria for constitutional label learner 700 to apply in relating user data to constitutional labels. As a non-limiting, illustrative example, an unsupervised process may determine that a first element of user physiological data acquired in a blood test correlates closely with a second element of user physiological data, where the first element has been linked via supervised learning processes to a given constitutional label, but the second has not; for instance, the second element may not have been defined as an input for the supervised learning process, or may pertain to a domain outside of a domain limitation for the supervised learning process. Continuing the example a close correlation between first element of user physiological data and second element of user physiological data may indicate that the second element is also a good predictor for the constitutional label; second element may be included in a new supervised process to derive a relationship or may be used as a synonym or proxy for the first physiological data element by constitutional label learner 700.
Still referring to FIG. 7, at least a server 104 and/or constitutional label learner 700 may detect further significant categories of user physiological data, relationships of such categories to constitutional labels, and/or categories of constitutional labels using machine-learning processes, including without limitation unsupervised machine-learning processes as described above; such newly identified categories, as well as categories entered by experts in free-form fields as described above, may be added to pre-populated lists of categories, lists used to identify language elements for language processing module 128, and/or lists used to identify and/or score categories detected in documents, as described above. In an embodiment, as additional data is added to system 100, constitutional label learner 700 and/or at least a server 104 may continuously or iteratively perform unsupervised machine-learning processes to detect relationships between different elements of the added and/or overall data; in an embodiment, this may enable system 100 to use detected relationships to discover new correlations between known biomarkers, constitutional labels, and/or advisory labels and one or more elements of data in large bodies of data, such as genomic, proteomic, and/or microbiome-related data, enabling future supervised learning and/or lazy learning processes as described in further detail below to identify relationships between, e.g., particular clusters of genetic alleles and particular constitutional labels and/or suitable advisory labels. Use of unsupervised learning may greatly enhance the accuracy and detail with which system may detect constitutional labels and/or advisory labels.
With continued reference to FIG. 7, unsupervised processes may be subjected to domain limitations. For instance, and without limitation, an unsupervised process may be performed regarding a comprehensive set of data regarding one person, such as a comprehensive medical history, set of test results, and/or physiological data such as genomic, proteomic, and/or other data concerning that persons. As another non-limiting example, an unsupervised process may be performed on data concerning a particular cohort of persons; cohort may include, without limitation, a demographic group such as a group of people having a shared age range, ethnic background, nationality, sex, and/or gender. Cohort may include, without limitation, a group of people having a shared value for an element and/or category of physiological data, a group of people having a shared value for an element and/or category of constitutional label, and/or a group of people having a shared value and/or category of advisory label; as illustrative examples, cohort could include all people having a certain level or range of levels of blood triglycerides, all people diagnosed with type II diabetes, all people who regularly run between 10 and 15 miles per week, or the like. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of a multiplicity of ways in which cohorts and/or other sets of data may be defined and/or limited for a particular unsupervised learning process.
Still referring to FIG. 7, constitutional label learner 700 may alternatively or additionally be designed and configured to generate at least a constitutional output 712 by executing a lazy learning process as a function of the first training set 108 and/or at least a biological extraction; lazy learning processes may be performed by a lazy learning module 716 executing on at least a server 104 and/or on another computing device in communication with at least a server 104, which may include any hardware or software module. A lazy-learning process and/or protocol, which may alternatively be referred to as a “lazy loading” or “call-when-needed” process and/or protocol, may be a process whereby machine learning is conducted upon receipt of an input to be converted to an output, by combining the input and training set to derive the algorithm to be used to produce the output on demand. For instance, an initial set of simulations may be performed to cover a “first guess” at a constitutional label associated with a user physiological test sample, using first training set 108. As a non-limiting example, an initial heuristic may include a ranking of constitutional labels according to relation to a test type of at least a physiological test sample, one or more categories of physiological data identified in test type of at least a physiological test sample, and/or one or more values detected in at least a physiological test sample; ranking may include, without limitation, ranking according to significance scores of associations between elements of physiological data and constitutional labels, for instance as calculated as described above. Heuristic may include selecting some number of highest-ranking associations and/or constitutional labels. Constitutional label learner 700 may alternatively or additionally implement any suitable “lazy learning” algorithm, including without limitation a K-nearest neighbors algorithm, a lazy naïve Bayes algorithm, or the like; persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various lazy-learning algorithms that may be applied to generate constitutional outputs 712 as described in this disclosure, including without limitation lazy learning applications of machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below.
Referring now to FIG. 8, an exemplary embodiment of advisory label learner 800 is illustrated. Advisory label learner 800 may be contained within label learner 140. In an embodiment, label learner 140 may contain constitutional label learner 700 and advisor label learner 800. Advisory label learner 800 may be configured to perform one or more supervised learning processes, as described above; supervised learning processes may be performed by a supervised learning module 804 executing on at least a server 104 and/or on another computing device in communication with at least a server 104, which may include any hardware or software module. For instance, a supervised learning algorithm may use constitutional labels as inputs, advisory labels as outputs, and a scoring function representing a desired form of relationship to be detected between constitutional labels and advisory labels; scoring function may, for instance, seek to maximize the probability that a given constitutional label and/or combination of constitutional labels is associated with a given advisory label and/or combination of advisory labels to minimize the probability that a given constitutional label and/or combination of constitutional labels is not associated with a given advisory label and/or combination of advisory labels. In an embodiment, one or more supervised machine-learning algorithms may be restricted to a particular domain; for instance, a supervised machine-learning process may be performed with respect to a given set of parameters and/or categories of constitutional labels that have been suspected to be related to a given set of advisory labels, for instance because the advisory processes corresponding to the set of advisory labels are hypothesized or suspected to have an advisory effect on conditions represented by the constitutional labels, and/or are specified as linked to a medical specialty and/or field of medicine covering a particular set of constitutional labels and/or advisory labels. As a non-limiting example, a particular set of constitutional labels corresponding to a set of conditions may be typically treated by cardiologists, and a supervised machine-learning process may be performed to relate those constitutional labels to advisory labels associated with various advisors that may be qualified to treat the set of conditions including for example cardiologists, internal medicine doctors, nurse practitioners, functional medicine doctors, and the like.
With continued reference to FIG. 8, advisory label learner 800 may perform one or more unsupervised machine-learning processes as described above; unsupervised processes may be performed by an unsupervised learning module 808 executing on at least a server 104 and/or on another computing device in communication with at least a server 104, which may include any hardware or software module. For instance, and without limitation, advisory label learner 800 and/or at least a server 104 may perform an unsupervised machine learning process on second training set 148, which may cluster data of second training set 148 according to detected relationships between elements of the second training set 148, including without limitation correlations of constitutional labels to each other and correlations of advisory labels to each other; such relations may then be combined with supervised machine learning results to add new criteria for advisory process label learner 800 to apply in relating constitutional labels to advisory labels. As a non-limiting, illustrative example, an unsupervised process may determine that a first constitutional label correlates closely with a second constitutional label, where the first constitutional label has been linked via supervised learning processes to a given advisory label, but the second has not; for instance, the second constitutional label may not have been defined as an input for the supervised learning process, or may pertain to a domain outside of a domain limitation for the supervised learning process. Continuing the example, a close correlation between first constitutional label and second constitutional label may indicate that the second constitutional label is also a good match for the advisory label; second constitutional label may be included in a new supervised process to derive a relationship or may be used as a synonym or proxy for the first constitutional label by advisory label learner 800. Unsupervised processes performed by advisory label learner 800 may be subjected to any domain limitations suitable for unsupervised processes performed by constitutional label learner 700 as described above.
Continuing to view FIG. 8, advisory label learner 800 may be configured to perform a lazy learning process as a function of the second training set 148 and the at least a constitutional output to produce the at least an advisor output; a lazy learning process may include any lazy learning process as described above regarding constitutional label learner 148. Lazy learning processes may be performed by a lazy learning module 812 executing on at least a server 104 and/or on another computing device in communication with at least a server 104, which may include any hardware or software module. Advisory output 816 may be provided to a user output device as described in further detail below.
In an embodiment, and still referring to FIG. 8, advisory label learner 800 may generate a plurality of advisory process labels having different implications for a particular person. For instance, where a constitutional label indicates that a user has an elevated thyroid stimulating hormone level (TSH) indicating a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, various advisory output labels may be generated including for example, functional medicine doctor, internal medicine doctor, endocrinologist, and obstetrician/gynecologist. In such a situation, advisory label learner 800 and/or at least a server 104 may perform additional processes to resolve ambiguity. Processes may include presenting multiple possible results to a user, informing the medical practitioner of various options that may be available, and/or that follow-up tests, procedures, or counseling may be required to select an appropriate choice. Alternatively or additionally, processes may include additional machine learning steps. For instance, advisory label learner 800 may perform one or more lazy learning processes using a more comprehensive set of user data to identify a more probably correct result of the multiple results. Results may be presented and/or retained with rankings, for instance to advise a user and/or medical professional of the relative probabilities of various advisory labels being correct or ideal choices for a given user; alternatively or additionally, advisory labels associated with a probability of success or suitability below a given threshold and/or advisory labels contradicting results of the additional process, may be eliminated. As a non-limiting example, an additional process may reveal that a user has seen an endocrinologist in the past for a mildly elevated TSH, and as such an endocrinologist may be selected as an advisory label to be presented. In yet another non-limiting example, an additional process may reveal that a user has seen an endocrinologist in the past for a separate medical condition such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, and as such an endocrinologist may be selected as an advisory label to be presented.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 8, advisory label learner 800 may be designed and configured to generate further training data and/or to generate outputs using longitudinal data 820. As used herein, longitudinal data 820 may include a temporally ordered series of data concerning the same person, or the same cohort of persons; for instance, longitudinal data 820 may describe a series of blood samples taken one day or one month apart over the course of a year. Longitudinal data 820 may related to a series of samples tracking response of one or more elements of user physiological data recorded regarding a person undergoing one or more processes linked to one or more constitutional labels. Advisory label learner 800 may track one or more elements of user physiological data and fit, for instance, a linear, polynomial, and/or splined function to data points; linear, polynomial, or other regression across larger sets of longitudinal data, using, for instance, any regression process as described above, may be used to determine a best-fit graph or function for the effect of a given process over time on a physiological parameter. Functions may be compared to each other to rank processes; for instance, a constitutional process associated with a steeper slope in curve representing improvement in a physiological data element, and/or a shallower slope in a curve representing a slower decline, may be ranked higher than a constitutional process associated with a less steep slope for an improvement curve or a steeper slope for a curve marking a decline. Constitutional processes associated with a curve and/or terminal data point representing a value that does not associate with a previously detected constitutional label may be ranked higher than one that is not so associated. Information obtained by analysis of longitudinal data 820 may be added to advisory database and/or second training set.
